Critics are already praising the first issue by saying the following:
“Bruce Dickinson, Tony Lee, and Staz Johnson have crafted a story that is both haunting and thrilling, with excellent characters, artwork, and themes. The comic book series is a great read for fans of science fiction, fantasy, and horror.” – Capes and Tights, 4/5 stars
“Visually, it straddles beauty and anarchy, the moody atmospheres of rain-sodden graveyards and dank occultist’s garrets giving way to trippy alternate dimensions where heavens are full of eyeballs gazing down.” – Metal Hammer, 4/5 Stars
